No Hoax: MTA named "2007 Owner of the Year"
McGraw-Hill's local construction trade publication New York Construction will be naming the Metropolitan Transportation Authority the "2007 Owner of the Year" in their March issue.
In an e-mail sent to potential advertisers, the magazine describes the MTA "as a leading builder of New York’s infrastructure and for its massive undertakings in 2007 and beyond" and cites:
$2.6 billion in federal funds to be spent on the MTA capital construction project of the Long Island Rail Road Link
Federal commitment of $695 million for the Second Avenue Subway
NoLandGrab: It's a construction trade magazine, not a good government group. Even if it were, the MTA would probably rank a close second to the Empire State Development Corporation for the "I'm a Public Authority: Reform Me" award.
